Thanks for the info.Ever thought that maybe the Christian crusades was just a form of enslaving people and robbing them of gold?You do know no one knows when Jesus was born? You do know CHRIST MASS is a pagan holiday to worship spirits? You do know that it was added to religion by the Catholic church because every one was doing it any way? That's not how religion is supposed to work. Thanks for the 411 on the kippa

It's not always obvious much how the Pope is revered in Catholic countries; this particular chap (Francis) happens to come across as a friendly, caring and accessible leader. His opinions certainly carry weight in political circles and I believe he cares a great deal about the current climate of extreme violence in Mexico. I'm not particularly religious, I just notice how this guy seems to be really popular with Latin-American Catholics?

Sorry if I may offend some people but religion is another way of manipulating people... What has the cothlic religion done for the poor Mexican people ? Other then collect money from them. They hardly speak out about anything going on this world....

And you think people treat each other better without religion? I am sure religion was invented because people get out of control without higher level authority. Cartels are a great example of that. Priests in Mexico are pretty outspoken, and have been murdered.

Whats he going to do about the terror in Mexico. He won't say a word. Mean while our daughters are getting raped and killed. Our families are being kidnapped and killed. Hey Help the innocent people of Mexico Not this dumb President. A man of God "safe our people." Defend our Priest who stand up to the terror. How about being a Pope Hidlago.

Stop watching Hannity 7:43 you have become an ignorant fool. Of course we are Christians. "different customs" since Catholics "made Christianity", all others who came after and altered "viewpoints' must not be Christians. Dumb! a Christian is a person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings.

I would say it is "u" that never uses his brain but that is most likely a futile exercise.

I hate going to catholic church in Mexico, I come out feeling like shit. lol those priest are way to serious and make women and even men cry. Don't like it, I rather listen to John Osteen every once in a while at least he is positive... real spit

9:19 You suck, because you never explain WHY THE FACK BB SUCKS.--i've been waiting for your brainy explanations for a looong time, and nothing, just the whining...--I don't know why, but you remind me of Monica Lewinsky at work

No. They pray to la Virgin de Guadalupe, de Fatima, el Niño Jesus, Malaverde,and so forth. Yes, it's odd, killers saying prayers, imo, it's more out of superstition than anything, else. The Cardinal getting assassinated during Amado Carrillo Fuentes'days is a multi faceted story steeped in narco politica. Some have it the Cardinal was in the wrong place at the wrong time; others said it was a direct hit on him. Frankie is the people's pope, he will be fine in Mexico.

I read Mexico is paying huge amount of money for his visit, but Mexico is all about religion. My aunt used to get a help from some political dude but because he's paying to go see el papa they are not longer giving her or the other families that help.
